It's not that, the reality of fascism on uni campuses (in tech) is really bleak. Lots of people don't see the problems that don't bother them.

So it's not trying to off people for asking the wrong questions. They're trying to cut back on the assholes that say things like:

"Awktually, there is a scientific arguement that whites smarter than blacks"
"I see you're black, but how ghetto are you?"
etc. etc.

Some things may get blown out of proportion, but I think people that claim it's not so bad don't know how bad it is for someone that doesn't fit a specific mold.

Can someone ELI5 for me how STUN and TURN work to make peer-to-peer happen? I get basic web protocols, but peer-to-peer stuff has always been a little confusing for me.
It is available though in every package manager for macOS except the App Store, and any user of a script like this on macOS is probably also using Homebrew, macports, Nix, or srcpkg.
Conventional wisdom is thaty only certain office buildings can be converted to housing. The depth and shape of the building matters quite a bit. A lot of office buildings are very deep and would result in a lot of rooms/space without windows or access to natural light.

The DC area is doing a pretty good job with conversions. A lot of these midrise buildings are a good fit for this. Although the very broad midrise buildings are a poor fit.

But I wonder if we could challenge the conventional wisdom on conversions of deeper buildings. Could we come up with novel things to do with this deep interior space?
People mention the spam, but the decentralized nature also makes it plain harder to use than the web. It's like the difference between Mastodon and X.

Your experience was largely dependent on the server and client you happened to use. I mainly ended up reading threads on Deja News (later Google Groups) because you could at least search for messages that were outside of the retention period of most servers.
> It seems that this is only an issue if there is a malicious actor present on the remote network.

As I understand it, the problem comes not from the remote network provided by the VPN, but by the local network - the physical link over which the user accesses the Internet.
The Foxfire books ever since I was little. It's a series of books documenting traditional skills like crop growing, fiddle making, blacksmithing, plumbing, foraging, cooking, etc. as done by rural people in Appalachia. They contain all kinds of valuable information in them as well as a good source of life skills & fun hobbies. I recommend them to everyone.
They remember that VW "it was a lone developer" play.
back to the start we go :-)

Bitcoin transactions are also "irreversible" providing the fee paid is reasonable, but ultimately the clearing time for both networks is down to the likelihood of a 51% attack for which bitcoin is far more protected against due to the far larger amount of hash power. It's not comparable.

If I'm moving/storing $1 billion, do I care if the transaction costs $1 instead of $20? No - I care that I'm storing the money in the safest place to store value I can find.
I guess my intuition for how a 'right-to-return' should work would be, if you have your property stolen and you are driven out of the land, and it can be proven beyond reasonable doubt that it is yours by inheritance, then you should be able to get it back.

It's to the eternal shame of Poland, Germany, and many other countries in Europe, that this is not what they did after the war. It's frankly shameful that this is rarely enforced anywhere.

If you do 'right of return' without the implicit return of property thing, it's pretty hollow if you've actually had your house/farm stolen, but it also becomes just a way of having an immigration policy that discriminates on an ethnic or religious basis.

I feel like people are generally pretty fine with accepting colonial borders: basically the whole world outside europe is divided by them. As long as they have a chance to live in peace, build businesses, live normal lives, I don't think people get that exercised about these things, on the whole. If you look at the lives of Palestinians, they look pretty humiliating. If I lived that life, had no chance to build anything or hold onto anything, I expect I would be pretty angry about it.
I love Judge Dredd.
It also would prevent your ISP or local attackers from seeing the domains you are reaching out to, which is still visible over https.

It's all tradeoffs.

I think one major difference between spreadsheets and Jupyter notebooks is state/dependency graph. In a notebook, cells don't depend on each other. They can be run many times, and the order they're run in matters. This is one of the major gotchas with notebooks. With spreadsheets, they're generally deterministic. There is no notion of "cell order", cells are recomputed automatically depending on the dependency graph between the cells. This results in a pretty big user experience difference.
I've found that asking them to review some obviously bad code with glaring errors and problems is more informative than asking them to solve some random DSA problem.

Candidates who can code well can point out code that has obvious problems. Just ask if this is good or bad, and if it is bad, how they could improve it. This demonstrates competency and doesn't make the interview seem like a grind but instead more like a conversation.
A culture of design docs tends to push everyone into a justification layer for their work. Justification culture, even when it’s peer reinforced as culture, is a fairly repressive pattern to innovators.

This system tends to prevent visionary efforts and aspirational projects because non-consensus focused efforts are quashed and thinking “outside of the accepted norm” means you’re going to be punished by the collective.

This type of system breeds groupthink, and the tradition focused nature of “the way we do things” intrinsically enforces that doing anything else frequently becomes dangerous to your career.

The valley has all manner of company cultures that rely on tropes wrapped in ‘agile’ and ‘design thinking’ verbiage that are primarily enshrined institutionalization masquerading as ‘the right way’ and usually comes with a healthy side dish of social enforcement of whatever ‘engineering cult culture’ variation that campus has arrived at.

I can’t tell you the number of people I’ve met who left Google because it was limiting their career, even when they were deeply comfortable working there. It’s not a few.

PalmDB: ROMs and Historical Preservation
"PalmDB is a community effort to preserve the work and history of Palm OS and its developers. From 1996-2007, Palm dominated the pocket computer marketplace and ushered in the modern smartphone era years before it became mainstream. Originally marketed as business devices dubbed "personal digital assistants" (or PDAs), Palm found unexpected popularity in the home as well, with a vast library of apps and games arising for use both in and out of the office. Future models would go on to be some of the first smartphones ever made."
Debian is super good for this. Most of their apt mirrors are still up and running, so you can easily download and build software from 2002 if you use the appropriate Debian release to do it.

I usually do this first to make sure the software builds and works, then I try to figure out how to get it working on a newer OS.
Hilarious that this is hosted on Substack.
That, and to comply with bureaucratic requirements. And commenting on others' docs, to "show leadership."

I long for design docs that are worth more than their cost.
That sounds like a description of culture.

So either colors were chosen because they have a deep cultural meaning or they were chosen arbitrarily?
Don’t overthink it, just talk about something you like about the language. The interviewer wants to hear relevant words that demonstrate you’ve actually worked in the space (and not just did a tutorial or read a blog post.)

It's not enough to qualify for a Darwin Award, but with more, ahem, effort this YouTuber could win one. I'm certain of it.

You're being too paranoid. If you have a substantive disagreement with the content of the "Too Much Crypto" paper then we can talk about it, but to posit that Aumasson was compromised by a TLA(with no evidence) and that this paper is the result is pure conspiracy thinking.

Aumasson designed BLAKE[0], as well SipHash[1] and SPHINCS+[2](both of which he designed with DJB, btw).

Sure, maybe. Though eventually one may find lots of edge cases. What about files in the root that get deleted? What about programs that put wanted state within config dirs? What about programs that ignore symlinked files? What about when you’re hacking on your dotfiles and break everything because the active config is the config being edited? What about when you need to vary based on system? What about…

I mean, yea, if it works for you, great! But all of the above are problems I did have. I grew a custom install script for years. Now I use Home Manager and the impermanence module.
I've talked with applicants about their private projects. It gave me great insights. Also take home tasks with a discussion afterwards are a good thing and can be an alternative if candidates don't have private projects to talk about.

I wanted to enjoy this film when I saw it at the cinema back then but (spoiler alert) the fact that he has a secret weapon ("Death Blossom") that destroys all the enemy ships in one go the entire film felt dumb. Why didn't the Rylan Star League use it themselves?
JustEat (European food delivery app) did this right. They acquired a bunch of companies, pyszne.pl, takeout.com, whatever the German one was called, and just replaced all their apps with the one they already had. The branding stayed the same, the Polish app for example is still called pyszne.pl and the JustEat branding is completely absent here, but all of these apps have the same UI and use the same backend. You can see this very clearly if you go to another country and open your local app, it's just going to work.
People complaining about Raspberry Pi being too expensive versus a used and abused intel NUC being superior going to swarm this thread in 1..2..3!

On unrelated note this is pretty cool service, considering how much effort it takes to properly setup vnc server together with novnc and nginx in reverse proxy mode properly configured with LE TLS certificates, local firewall and a port forward on a router.
This seems like an interesting manifestation of Gödel’s formulation about unprovable truths.

The universe has set boundaries that prevent the scientific method from being completed regarding experiments in the case of black holes.

This means that certain scientific truth discovery is bounded by certain lengths, timescales, and gravitational forces. Thankfully, our minds are not limited by what we can think about in the same way -thus, we can simulate what we think happens even though it is never provable by definition. :)
It is 2024 and there are still people who cling to the idea there can be privacy with email, so much so they are willing to be parted with their money for the "privilege". I really cannot imagine a more diametrically opposed schism in privacy threat modeling.

Mixed income and mixed use is my preference.

The Austin Plaza Saltillo project is a great example. Shops at the bottom make it useful for the whole community. Parking is in garages underneath which promotes walk ability. When you see someone going to their place you don’t know if they are on food stamps or are a tech millionaire. There’s less stigma and more respect for all neighbors.
Forgive my ignorance, but what could a malicious gateway do in this instance?
Zerotier does way more: From what I read, RPi Connect uses WebRTC to wire VNC Server & Client up. Sounds more like Remote Desktop than L2/L3 (like ZeroTier/Hamachi/Tailscale/etc)?
> What could go wrong?

Or what could go right. Service and civic workers would finally have housing that wasn't 2 hours away from their city jobs.
Looks interesting.

The paint fill one is funny because the answer they’re probably looking for (demonstrate you’re comfortable with recursion) is actually the naive answer (blows up in practice.)
I like this idea. I would even settle for the mixed income housing that a lot of development companies here (DC) were supposed to build when they received subsidies from the government.
This is absolutely amazing, the fact that you can click on text and it takes you immediately to the part of the audio where that text is being said is great.

I made it Python, added a simple json-config and mustache-templating. Very portable (where symlinks are), very flexible (also used it for termux for a bit) and very simple.
This is awesome.

I haven't really seen much of boilerplates for the Backend.

Nice one for coming up with this one.

Additionally, not all in app browsers are custom things. Good apps use the system-provided SFSafariViewController on iOS and Custom Chrome Tabs on Android which are “real” instances of Safari and Chrome respectively and don’t allow app devs to snoop on browsing activity in the same way custom in-app browsers built with webviews do (though SFSafariViewController is better in this respect, since sessions are isolated per-app which bars cookie-based tracking whereas Custom Chrome Tabs seem to share the same browser’s session. Google also surfaces some light “engagement”APIs in theirs).

I'm currently using a git based approach for my dotfiles, similar to the one notes here[1]. I've got one significant change, though:
All my dotfile management works over my cfg[2] script that helps me maintain a main branch for dotfiles for all machines and then branches that branch off of that main like 'main.arch.MACHINE_NAME' that are merged like a waterfall during sync (main -[merge]-> main.arch -[merge]-> main.arch.MACHINE_NAME).
(I can also cherry pick up the waterfall)

I'm often the only one when I work in smaller companies.

And the best developer I ever worked with had zero public repositories in Github. Now that gave me some perspective.
Not all of the building needs to be direct residential; for example, I could definitely imagine some light retail, a computer lab, a tool library, an indoor track, a gym, et cetera.
My approach has been giving candidates simple real world problems, e.g. extract the URLs from this file given a spec and a description of a few language builtins. I'll throw a few curveballs in depending on how they do but my goal isn't to stump them.

I'm mostly looking to filter out the candidates that flat out can't code or describe their thought process while coding. You'd be surprised how many candidates I've interviewed pass the resume check, get to the interview and can't reason out a problem that could be solved with two for loops and an if statement.
I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before somebody builds an open-source app for this service and turns it into a general-purpose remote desktop service. Hopefully the RPi Foundation doesn't get so much illegitimate traffic that they have to shut this down, as it's a neat idea.
Third here, it's the easiest tool to setup dotfiles that work on machines ranging from RHEL7 to latest MacOS. Haven't dealt with Windows dotfiles though.

Anyway, outside of that, this typically is a good thing. $200 flat screen tvs make it easier to live life. I remember moving out of my parents house and being amazed at how affordable the minimum products were. Yes offbrand TV with 50 hz, yes you $2/lb meat with 30% fat, yes your shower curtain was a pain in the butt to install... But making 19k/yr, I could afford it.
I was following this ever since I had read about AdaCore collaborating with Ferrous Systems on this, however, it is for the compiler. If they created a published Rust standard specific to their compiler then maybe, but I think there needs to be a general Rust standard comparable to other PL standards to start to encroach on the Ada/SPARK2014 world and a whole lot of real-world apps over time.
But the trouble is they are too expensive. Not sure I would buy a NUC but tons of gently used/new overstock thin-client machines from Lenovo (ThinkCenter) and Dell Optiplex that cost $75-200 depending on spec and give you as good or better bang for buck, more reliable, etc.

(I would however separate out unique applications with the RPI Zero given the form factor)
Consider the time. A 'server' usually meant 'shared file and print', not so much applications (or at least limited ones). And the disks were a couple of orders of magnitude slower than they are now. So you had a lot less overhead and could heavily optimize for smaller numbers of use cases (which made Novell very successful for a good while, tho not on z80). Also, networks were a lot slower. Ethernet had just been introduced and hadn't taken over the world. Most nets were some sort of serial network (< ~1Mbps) or maybe Arcnet (~2.5Mbps). So, yeah...there were Z80 servers. MP/M was a common operating system for them, but as we see it wasn't the only one.
London seems to manage this petty well. I think it’s quite healthy for a city to commingle folk from different income groups rather than house them in specific areas.

Let's not "save" them, which is just an attempt to bail out the landlords who have been gouging the rents and manipulating building codes and laws, sabotaging rail, and doing everything in their power to keep rents artificially high.

Step 1: Let all the landlords go bankrupt. The buildings will be repossessed and owned by creditors, but still there.

Step 2: New people buy them for a fraction of even the current price, and redevelop them. Or nobody buys them, and we get an empty lot.

Any other plan is an attempt to transfer wealth from the people to the landlord class to save their skin. Hard pass, let them use their 75 years of ill gotten rents.
> Could we come up with novel things to do with this deep interior space?

Yes, here's an article with great visualizations on how developers are coring out the center of repurposed office buildings in order to create columns of natural light (and how, in certain jurisdictions, this lost square footage can then be reclaimed via new construction stacked on top of the building): https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/03/11/upshot/office...

Interesting write up! I typically use multiple-WLANs as well as guest-isolation on the "guest" network which further reduces the attack surface. All of the network infra also runs on a separate management VLAN and (by default) switch ports are on the guest network so if someone randomly plugs in to a ethernet jack, they're not getting on the MGMT lan. Maybe not perfect, but certainly better than your average Comcast/Verizon/Orange/SFR setup!
No shit. People actually do not apprend intelligence agencies have the capability, desire and resources to operate legitimate "privacy" services. Why not just roll out the red carpet and let all the sus people walk in?

Hard disagree. The argument assumes bad intent on the part of the evil DEI and implies the only reason for the policy is too get rid of "troublemakers".

This is some peak choir preaching. If you polled people neutral, or those with the opposite opinion they would think it's nonsense.

But on this site you can just chant things like "all hail the gray ones, the ones that can't be silenced by the blues!" and be celebrated. In fact, I suspect there's a high chance of me getting banned for pointing this out.
